The tools that help create a document, a movie, or a game are all programs. This course uses Python as its programming language. Python programmers are in high demand. The programs you’ll learn in this course are specially designed for learners with no programming background. 

You’ll start with simple math, real-world problem-solving, and writing solutions as steps in a simple language. Next, you’ll learn decision-based solutions demonstrated via flowcharts and explained with execution sheets. Finally, you’ll learn to translate your solutions into Python programs using variables, conditional statements, loops, strings, lists, and built-in functions. You’ll also learn to create your own functions in Python.

Plenty of practice programs with the facility of editing and running them in an embedded way will add to your confidence. After completing this course, you can start as a Python developer. Python is used in business, web, healthcare, education, data science, scraping, embedded systems, and games.

Learn to Code: Python for Absolute Beginners

# Eat an elephant one bite at a time

Even the longest journey requires us to take one step at a time. We write complex code to solve many computational problems. Those problems might look daunting now, but we just need to solve them step by step. To solve a complicated word problem, start by writing steps in simple English.



 
# Measuring problems
We’ll start with a simple problem—measuring water with the help of two odd containers.

We only have two bottles, a <img src="/api/collection/10370001/5825439251824640/page/4979585708195840/image/6036987287175168?page_type=collection_lesson" 
     width="95"  /> and a <img src="/api/collection/10370001/5825439251824640/page/4979585708195840/image/5331815162445824?page_type=collection_lesson" 
     width="95"  />.
## Tasks
We have the following tasks:
1. Measure 2 liters of water.
2. Measure 1 liter of water.
3. Measure 4 liters of water.

## Rules
* We have as much water as we need.
* We may fill and pour any bottle into any other bottle or drain a bottle entirely as many times as needed.

 > **Remember:** We can’t fill a bottle halfway, and there are no 1 liter, 2 liter, or 4 liter bottles.



## Task 1: Measure 2 liters
The first task is to measure 2 liters of water. 
 
> **Tip:** Start by filling the 5 liter bottle.
